Spreadsheet submission by e-mail : How does it work?
- This functionality is available to laboratory staff, coordinators and a few other specific user types. It offers an efficient way of transfering larger quantities of data into the iSIKHNAS system. Staff must have undertaken specialist training and be given permission to be involved.
- A registered user enters data into a standardised spreadsheet template. It is important to use the standard template so the system can recognise what data is being sent and how to manage it.
- The spreadsheet is then sent as an attachment with an e-mail to iSIKHNAS.
- iSIKHNAS automatically checks the data for errors. If any are found, the spreadsheet is returned to the sender with errors highlighted for correction.
- When an error-free spreadsheet is submitted, the data is inserted into the database and is immediately available for viewing and included in the automated reporting.
